Detailed Product Description
This power steering pump features a robust aluminum housing that helps with heat dissipation and long-term durability. The pump uses an O-ring type hose port to ensure a tight seal and prevent leaks.

The pump is designed for vehicles with a remote reservoir system, although the reservoir itself is not included. Note that the pulley and mounting hardware are not part of the package and must be sourced separately.
